A few days after taking photos of the fall leaves up on Mount Werner, the leaves started turning down in the valley. It was a beautiful day outside. I went for a walk along the bike path not far from my house..

Then I turned down Pine Grove Road. This next photo is a shot of the famous Steamboat barn.

After walking a little further and crossing Mount Werner Road, I took the road that goes by the fire station and then headed back to my place. As I walked towards the fire station, I stumbled onto the yearly fire hose testing event. Three fire fighters, all of whom I found out were the rookies, were at one end doing all of the work, shooting water out of each of the hoses. At first I was not sure if they saw me and did not want to have water shot at me. Once I knew they saw me, I continued on. I stopped and chatted with them for a few minutes. I thought the hoses looked pretty cool all spread out down the road. They reminded me of a rainbow.                    

What a beautiful day!
